When we renovated our kitchen I opted for a Miele dishwasher, which was an investment — but one that has proved to be one of the best in our kitchen. So far I have been impressed by the quality of the engineering — but this new development from the company has me even more wowed. Watch what happens when you knock on the dishwasher in their new line!

Um, so cool. Here's another look:

But what, you might ask, is the point of this? It's a feature designed for super sleek kitchens with no visible handles at all. This lets your paneled dishwasher disappear into a line of cabinets without even a hint of a handle to give it away.

Smart, fun — and just way too tempting for most toddlers (and toddlers-at-heart), I know. Miele does offer a childproofing key to turn off the Knock-2-Open feature when desired.
